Have been following the whole "steampunk" lever machine discussion for a while and finally decided to figure out what you were talking about (having no idea what this meant). Where have I been? Have always thought that was a great aesthetic, but had no idea that it had a name! Thank you!

Buenas Dia
I'm glad at least you tried the Rwanda. I never said that it or any other African was better than Latin American coffees, but I think it has a good body, and nice acidity that makes a good cup. I'm not crazy about coffees from the Americas though, with the expection of Organic Chiapas, or a good Costa Rican (La Minita). What do I think is the best coffee or coffee region- Indonesia. Celebes, Sumatra and Java. Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and the Harrar are excellent African coffees. Coffee was born in Ethiopia ( the dancing goat story). It's the perfect place to grow coffee, always has been.

Great. I was hoping you would join the Coffee Culinaria group. I am also looking to recruit chefs who are NOT yet on barista exchange - but who are involved with coffee - let me know if you have ideas - suggestions - I want to bring the coffee and culinary worlds together in some small delicious way.

I'm glad you got the coffee, I hope you like it. You'll have to give me a full report. Today, I'm actually brewing that for samples(the Rwanda). I've got much to do today, some big orders to roast. have a good day, Madam Bel of Darlington.

It's Ok, that you are Married to the "pure coffee culture" but having an affair with a little flavor. I never drink coffee without milk, it would be like going to work without any knickers on. Your maple drink sounds good. I'm sorry you are having to drink not so good coffee my dear but Alas! Coffee cometh your way, out of Dallas, to the Jetty, on plane across the Atlantic, into to Ireland to pick up more things to take to England, on to the main land, pass liverpool, and then North about 200 km to Darlington. Have a nice day

Morning Lady Townsend, I'm bloody tired, been a rough week, i feel like someone kicked me in the balls. Anyway let's talk coffee, No roasting today(Friday) Today's brew will be Costa Rica Vienna Roast, and for Decaf,, Sumatra. One of my favorites. The decaf Sumatra has a very musty, earthy, taste. Doesn't sound very good does it, but it is. What about you?

I'll be roasting it today(Thursday). The Costa Rican/Mexican blend sounds good. Have you noticed that Brazil is completely different from the rest of the coffees that are grown in the Americas? and yes it does has a slightly harsh metalic taste to it. However, that's a quality it can have when roasted for espresso because that gives a hardness. Ok Lady, I must start my day. I hope yours goes well. cheers

Brazil is South American. I like the Brazil as a slightly darker roast. We offer it as an Espresso which is very nice. It's has a bold smokey body, with a sweet , carmely finish and makes a good crema. It's better in a Latte or Capp.
It's good to hear from you. I was beginning to think that you wanted nothing to do with a us Texans (Yeee-Ha). Some beans from Rwanda just came available and I was able to secure a Bag of it from an importer to try. There has not been any good green coffee available from troubled places in Africa like Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Uganda and Congo. However, I got the bag last week and after ripping the bag open like a horny lover, I roasted it as was very pleased with the coffee. First of all, I has a beautiful aroma, very floral and exotic. The first roast I did was a medium roast and at that temp. it was very crisp and nutty, hints of cocoa in the finish. I love to send you some (yes, all the way to the bloody UK). You can give me a mailing address at ...vb76scorpio@yahoo.com

Bel,
I'll comment about your research after reading your blurb and finishing my D (I have 2 weeks to finish...). So, all in good time. :-)
Thanks for the description,
Shawn

Not so sunny today, a bit overcast. This week I had to do some repairs on the roaster. I had to replace the drum motor and the front and back bearings. It's been an exhausting week. Today I'm brewing Decaf Colombia Swiss Water Process, and an Organic Mexican from Oaxaca. Too bad for Chelsea.

How's going this morning Bel, Hopefully some of us Texans will be having a Coffee Jam in the city or nearby it's just in the planning stages now. Not much of Coffee scene here but I'm making efforts to change that.

I really think most of the others are tire kickers. I have located my birth certificate this weekend in an effort to obtain my passport, I will send for it today. I have travelled a lot inside the states, but only to Mexico outside. I really want to go this season, I do not want to wait.

Oh yeah, HUGE!! Population 11,000.
There are actually a lot of them, but they all seem to be pretty similar in size.
So, what are your thoughts on a trip to visit Pablo? I really want to go.
